Anticoagulation

If you’re taking anticoagulation medications such as Coumadin (warfarin) to prevent blood clots, close monitoring is essential and we're here to help. Illnesses, medications and some foods influence Coumadin’s effect on blood clotting. Regular blood tests and dose adjustments are necessary to avoid bleeding while preventing undesired clotting.

Mayo Clinic Health System anticoagulation services are staffed by clinicians with advanced anticoagulation training. They work with your primary care provider and other specialists to help you manage your anticoagulation therapy.

Services include:

Point of care (finger stick) testing

Anticoagulation medication adjustment

Close supervision of treatment to ensure effectiveness and monitor side effects

Screening and education about food and drug interactions
